We have an appalling, and ever growing suicide rate in New Zealand. Developmental psychologist and science writer Jesse Bering tries to make sense of the epidemic and why humans do this to themselves when no other living creature does. His book is called A Very Human Ending: How Suicide Haunts Our Species.

Jesse is Head of the Department of Science Communication at the University of Otago.
